History
The al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) branch of al-Qaeda planted a car bomb in front of the police academy in Sana'a, Yemen, where a large crowd of Houthis fighters and civilians - some of which were hoping to join the police force - gathered on 7 January 2015. Early in the morning, the bomb was detonated, killing 38 people and wounding 63. Many police cadets and hopefuls were killed, and plumes of smoke rose from the area after the huge explosion. It occurred on the same day as the Charlie Hebdo Massacre.
